Groningen and AZ Alkmaar will put their perfect 2024-25 Eredivisie records on the line when they face off at Euroborg in the opening match of Sunday's league action.
Both teams have made the perfect start to the new season and are two of only four teams in the division that will enter gameweek three with six points taken from their first two matches.
We say: Groningen 0-1 AZ Alkmaar
While Groningen have won both matches this season, it is worth pointing out that their opponents in those matches were reduced to 10 men, which helped swing matters in their favour. If AZ can keep a full contingent on the pitch, we feel they will be able to come away with the points.

Newly promoted Willem II will be looking to keep their unbeaten Eredivisie record intact this weekend when they face off against Heracles at Asito Stadion on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts are in 13th place after two gameweeks with just a single point to their name, while the visitors are in sixth place with four points from their first two top-flight matches.
We say: Heracles 1-1 Willem II
Willem have made a very promising start to their top-flight season, and while they are the visitors this weekend, we feel they will be able to take something off this Heracles side that are still searching for top gear.

Sparta vs. Feyenoord (Sunday, 1.30pm)

The pick of this Sunday's Eredivisie fixtures comes from Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel, where Sparta Rotterdam will be playing host to Feyenoord.
Both these sides are still unbeaten heading into gameweek three of the new season, with the hosts currently on two points, while the visitors are on four.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 Feyenoord
Feyenoord kicked off the season with a very off-colour performance against Willem II, but that may just have been due to rust, as they romped to a commanding victory last week against PEC Zwolle.
While Sparta Rotterdam are certainly no pushover on their home patch, we feel the visitors will be able to grind out a narrow victory in this one.

Go Ahead Eagles and RKC Waalwijk draw the curtain on round three of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season with a meeting at De Adelaarshorst.
Both teams still await their first points of the new campaign, having been beaten in both of their two domestic outings so far heading into Sunday's encounter.
We say: Go Ahead Eagles 2-1 RKC Waalwijk
With both teams low on confidence at the moment, Sunday's meeting represents an opportunity to get their league season up and running with all three points.
We can see Go Ahead Eagles just about doing enough to emerge victorious at the end of the 90 minutes in Deventer.
